I preferred that, honestly. Asumu showed signs of becoming a better person, but not becoming a stronger person until that arc came around. This is why I liked Kyousuke; his character development may have been a little rushed to fit in, but from start to finish he developed as the kind of person to become an Oni.

That still doesn't mean to dump his whole character goal though; Asumu could've developed as a character and still become an Oni, not give to Inoue-rehash-who never stopped being a rehash* Kiriya. That kid didn't deserve it,
